ATRAC3plus (Adaptive Transform Acoustic 
Coding3plus) is an audio compression 
technology that satisfi es the demand for high 
sound quality and high compression rates.
ATRAC3plus can compress audio fi les to 
about 1/20 of their original size at 64 kbps.

– MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3
– Bit rate 32 to 320 kbps (CBR/VBR)
– Sampling frequencies 32/44.1/48 kHz

cannot be played on this player, playback will 
stop. Press

•  When using the built-in battery, if the player is not
